HämodialysestimulatorHemodialysis stimulator

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hämodialysestimulator. Bis jetzt tritt bei der Behandlung mit der künstlichen Niere mit Kapillarhämodialysatoren und programmierbaren Monitoren eine ganze Reihe von Schwierigkeiten auf. Hierzu gehört vor allem der umständliche Prozeß der Übertragung der-Stoffwechselprodukte aus den intra- und extrazellulären Räumen in die Blutbahn mit dem außerkörperlich angeschlossenen Hämodialysator. Das Leben eines Patienten mit der künstlichen Niere ist im Prinzip von der Geschwindigkeit der Entwicklung der gesamten metabolischen Destruktion abhängig. Weitere Komplikationen bei der Hämodialyse stellen die Blutdruckschwankung, das Vorkommen von Krämpfen der unteren und oberen Gliedmassen, die Schmerzen bei einer dauernden nachteiligen Lage und ferner das Zittern bei besonders empfindlichen Patienten dar. Eine Reihe der bisherigen Schwierigkeiten wird in der Regel durch Verabreichung von Chemotherapeutika bekämpft .The invention relates to a hemodialysis stimulator. Until now, treatment occurs with the artificial kidney with capillary hemodialyzers and programmable monitors poses a number of difficulties. This includes before above all the laborious process of transferring the metabolic products from the intra- and extracellular spaces into the bloodstream with the hemodialyzer connected out of the body. The life of a patient with the artificial kidney is in principle dependent on the speed of development total metabolic destruction dependent. Other complications of hemodialysis are fluctuations in blood pressure, the occurrence of cramps of the lower and upper limbs, the pain in a lasting adverse Position and also the tremors in particularly sensitive patients. A number of the previous difficulties are usually fought by administering chemotherapy drugs.

Die genannten Nachteile werden durch den Hämodialysestimulator gemäß der Erfindung beseitigt. Das Prinzip desselben liegt darin, daß er mit mindestens zwei scheiben- oder spitzenförmigen Elektroden versehen ist, welche über einenThe mentioned disadvantages are caused by the hemodialysis stimulator eliminated according to the invention. The principle of the same is that he with at least two disc or pointed electrodes are provided, which have a

3151 ISO3151 ISO

Hörer und ein Meßgerät für die StromgröBe und -ableitung an einen Generator angeschlossen sind, der aus einer Gleichstromquelle gespeist wird.Receiver and a measuring device for the magnitude and discharge of current are connected to a generator that is fed from a direct current source.

Nach einem anderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist der Analog- und Digitalausgang des Meßgeräts für die Stromgröße und -ableitung an den Eingang des programmierbaren Monitors der Einrichtung für die Hämodialyse angeschlossen. Schließlich kann der Generator für das elektrische Signal mit dem Ausgang des programmierbaren Monitors verbunden sein oder er kann mit einer Handsteuerung versehen sein.According to another feature of the invention, the analog and digital output of the measuring device for the current magnitude and -Duction connected to the input of the programmable monitor of the device for hemodialysis. In the end the generator for the electrical signal can be connected to the output of the programmable monitor or he can be provided with a hand control.

Der Grundeffekt der Erfindung liegt darin, daß sie das Leben des Patienten verlängert und die Anzahl der notwendigen Hämodialysen und deren Dauer herabsetzt. Die Einrichtung beschleunigt ferner den Transport der StoffWechselprodukte aus den intra- und extrazellularen Räumen in die Blutbahn. Sie vermindert die Blutdruckschwankungen, beseitigt die Schmerzen in den unteren und oberen Gliedmassen und beseitigt die Schmerzen aus nachteiligen Lagen. Sie vermindert die Menge der notwendigen Pharmaka, welche die Hämodialysebehandlung begleiten.The basic effect of the invention is that it extends the life of the patient and reduces the number of necessary hemodialyses and their duration. The device also accelerates the transport of metabolic products from the intra- and extracellular spaces into the bloodstream. It reduces fluctuations in blood pressure , eliminates pain in the lower and upper limbs, and eliminates pain from adverse locations. It reduces the amount of drugs required to accompany the hemodialysis treatment.

Die Erfindung ist anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert, in der ein Blockschaltbild des Hämodialysestimulators dargestellt ist«The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which a block diagram of the hemodialysis stimulator is shown «

Mindestens zwei Elektroden 1 und 2 sind an bestimmten Stellen des Körpers des Patienten befestigt und über den Hörer 3 und das Meßgerät 4 für die Stromgröße und -ableitung an den Generator 5 für das elektrische Signal angeschlossen, der aus einer Gleichstromquelle 6 gespeist wird. Die Elektroden 1 und 2 sind aus metallischen Materialien oder aus elektrisch leitfähigen Polymerisaten hergestellt. Der Hörer 3 zeigt die leitfähige Verbindung der Elektroden 1 und 2 mit dem Körper des Patienten an.At least two electrodes 1 and 2 are attached to specific locations on the patient's body and over the receiver 3 and the measuring device 4 for the current magnitude and derivation connected to the generator 5 for the electrical signal, which is fed from a direct current source 6. The electrodes 1 and 2 are made of metallic materials or made of electrically conductive polymers produced. The receiver 3 shows the conductive connection of the electrodes 1 and 2 with the patient's body.

Das Meßgerät 4 für die Stromgröße und -ableitung hat einen Analog- und Digitalausgang für weitere Anwendung, beispielsweise für eine Verarbeitung in dem programmierbaren Monitor 7 der Hämodialyseeinrichtung oder für Aufzeichnungs- und Darstellungszwecke.The measuring device 4 for the current magnitude and derivation has a Analog and digital output for other applications, for example for processing in the programmable monitor 7 of the hemodialysis device or for recording and Purposes of illustration.

Die Amplitude, die Frequenz und die Form des elektrischen Signals am Ausgang des Generators 4 werden von dem programmierbaren Monitor 7 betätigt oder sie können manuell geregelt werden. Die Amplitude ist im Bereich von O bis 25 V veränderlich, die Frequenz im Bereich von 10 Hz bis 10 kHz einstellbar und das elektrische Signal hat beispielsweise einen rechteckigen, dreieckigen oder sägezahnförmigen Verlauf .The amplitude, the frequency and the shape of the electrical signal at the output of the generator 4 are programmable by the Monitor 7 operated or they can be controlled manually. The amplitude is in the range from 0 to 25 V. variable, the frequency adjustable in the range from 10 Hz to 10 kHz and the electrical signal has, for example a rectangular, triangular or sawtooth-shaped course.

Die Einrichtung gemäß der Erfindung läßt sich getrennt von der künstlichen Niere zur Diagnose und zur Therapie in der allgemeinen Medizin verwenden.The device according to the invention can be separated from the artificial kidney for diagnosis and therapy in the use general medicine.
